My steering rack on my NA S60 2005 (non-speed sensitive) has developed a very serious leak, resulting in puddles for even just 5 minutes. Last time I had the pump starved for a few miles before I could safely stop to refill.
My investigation has led me to believe, the leak is from the input shaft seal same as here viewtopic.php?t=97031.
Now, I would like to ask members on WHY the subframe needs to be dropped, which part specifically is obstructing removal?
Why must the subframe be lowered to remove steering rack? [S60 2005]

I replaced the pressure hose on my S60 FWD. Worst job I've ever done. There is no clearance for a 4" box wrench let along a full rack to come out. A good job to subcontract to your best local indie.

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.
